Runners, it’s time again to pull out those magical capes, strap on those evil-avenging masks, and double-knot those superhuman running shoes because KLRU is “calling all super readers” and superheroes to the CASA Superhero Run, because “every child needs a hero, but abused children need superheroes.”

KLRU is proud to sponsor this year’s Superhero Run, an annual event that raises money to help ensure that someday every child in Travis County who needs their own superhero will have one. Kids should also be on the lookout for Super Why and Princess Presto, two of the “Super Readers” from the PBS Kids series SuperWhy.

The event takes place on Sunday, September 25, at The Domain, 11410 Century Oaks Terrace and the day consists of a chip-timed 5K race, Kids 1K and numerous chances for participants to become their own superhero.

Participants are strongly encouraged to come dressed as their favorite superhero for a chance to win prizes like giftcards to Roque Equipment and Lucy’s in Disguise, or even their own Superhero Run cape!

Registration can be done on the day of the race or in advance at casatravis.org.
